Two of our favorite things in summer are mint lemonade (also called limonana) and watermelon juice. Sometimes, I mix the two together and make it a bit more refreshing.  

Why make this drink?

  • The one thing I like about this drink is that I can use less sugar compared to lemonade because watermelon is much sweeter.
  • I freeze the watermelon slices. That way, I omit the ice and use more watermelon. This also gives a pretty deep red color and sweeter drink.
  • I like to strain the drink because it looks nicer and it's smoother to drink. Having said that, the pulp is good fiber and good for you.

Ingredients and substitutes

  • Sugar - I am using white sugar but honey works just as well. Adjust the sweetness depending on how sweet the watermelon is.
  • Watermelon - The best watermelons are the ones that are bright red and juicy. A good practice is to let the grocer cut and check so you know that you're a good one.
  • Lemon juice - While you can use the commercial one, there is nothing more refreshing than fresh lemon juice.

Step by step instructions

  • Add all the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
  • Taste and adjust sweetness. And if necessary, add more sugar.
  • Strain through a sieve to remove the fiber (optional).
  • Pour into a pitcher and keep chilled until ready to use.

Storage 

  • If you do not sieve the pulp out, it will last two days in the fridge.
  • And if you sieve the pulp out, it will last 4 to 5 days in the fridge.

    Looks like I've found my new summer drink to have on repeat! Really love your tip for freezing the melon to reduce the ice - I'll get even more of that watermelon flavour that way!
